I wish people hadn't complained about me painting too many portraits ... If there is one subject that I enjoy more than any other it would have to be portrait and figure work. During my long professional career I have painted thousands portraits of Royals,Political Leaders, celebrated individuals from Nobel Laureates to film stars . Here I give some examples of my digital portrait painting technique. Everybody develops his own technique suitable to his painting style. Each portrait is a new challenge, an enriching experience, a very exciting one.

"People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them ."
"Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours." James A. Baldwin . Writer.

Yes, at this time I would like to show you the portrait of James Baldwin, one of my favorite american writer. He was a famed novelist and essayist. I like his face, his expression very much. So , I was very happy when the Editorial commissioned me to do this piece for the Grand Encyclopedia Everest (Spain 2006 ).

Caetano Veloso has been called the Bob Dylan of Brazil -- a popular musician who has made staggering artistic and intellectual contributions to his country. As Caetano says, "I make my records as a painter would paint his canvas". In fact, he makes every melody he sings sound luminous and newly discovered.
This is a small (1/4 page) portrait illustration created at the beginning of 2006 for The Grand Encyclopedia Everest ( Spain ). Some b/w low resolution photos of Caetano provided by Art Director and photos of my own guitars used for reference.
